I know the word for lice in 3 languages...
I had to laugh the other day when I realized that I knew the word for lice in three languages...lice, ucus (not sure of the spelling but something like that in Samoan) and piojos. And I even learned how to take them out of my little 3 year old childrens hair. Who knew that it is best to put butter in their hair first, and then to brush their hair with a special brush... Of course afterwards we had to put some serious soap in their hair to get the butter out, shampoo with the special lice shampoo, and finally change all the sheets... but they are all now lice free! Yea! Still loving my time here and have made a schedule for myself which I love. I know myself and know that I need some sort of structure and need to stay busy... A volunteer is leaving this weekend and I will be taking over her English classes for an hour a day, and will also be helping with the Kindergarten English class...and I have started doing yoga! Another new volunteer just came a few days ago who runs and does yoga. Perfect! So we have an exercise hour every day, and switch between running and yoga. She used to be a gymnast so she is super flexible. Maybe in May, I will be able to touch my toes...Anyway, the other orientador who is with me went on her one week vacation, so it is just me with my 3 little ones. They have been angels so far though, and I have to say that they are way better at waking up in the morning at 5:30 than I ever was and ever will be... Off to English class...love you all.

Sally,
ReplyDeleteGreat posts. As usual I feel like I'm there watching you do all these great things. It sounds like you're turning into a real spelunker.
